highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value.
This is because the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the
network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a wireless device model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC, IC, and The
Council of the European Union that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for
safe exposure under the recommendations of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP). The tests are performed in positions and locations (for example, 5 mm from the body) as required by the FCC,
IC, and The Council of the European Union for each model.
Body SAR measurements differ among wireless device and phone models, depending upon available accessories and FCC,
IC, and The Council of the European Union requirements.
The highest SAR value for your BlackBerry PlayBook tablet model when tested for use at 0 mm from the body is outlined
as follows:

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this wireless device model with all reported SAR levels evaluated as
in compliance with the FCC radio frequency emission guidelines when the tablet is used as directed in this section. SAR
information on this wireless device model is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of
www.fcc.gov/oet/ea after searching for the FCC ID for your tablet listed below. You can find the FCC ID on the bottom of
your tablet, beside the charging contacts.

Additional information on SAR can be found on the CTIA - The Wireless Association website at www.ctia.org. In Japan,
additional information on SAR can be found on the Association of Radio Industries and Businesses (ARIB) website at
www.arib-emf.org/index.html, or on the Telecommunications Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and
Communications (MIC) website at www.tele.soumu.go.jp/e/index.htm.

* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile devices used by the public is 1.6W/kg averaged over 1 g of
tissue for the body or head (4.0W/kg averaged over 10 g of tissue for the extremities - hands, wrists, ankles, and feet).
** In Europe, the SAR limit for mobile devices used by the public is 2.0W/kg averaged over 10 g of tissue for the body or
head (4.0W/kg averaged over 10 g of tissue for the extremities - hands, wrists, ankles, and feet). Studies suggest that the
standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any
variations in measurements.
